FPS problems after update

[fkkoko]

Hello everyone.

 

After I updated TDM to 1.1 it drastically slowed down.

 

Loading time takes ridiculously long, even 15 minutes! What is more, my FPS dropped to 10. I lowered everything I could (resolution, I also turned off some settings) but it's still unplayable. I've never had such problems before updates (I downloaded 1.2 but it did not help). I followed FAQ and tried every solution included in it.

 

I have no idea what else can I do, so I hope that you can provide me a solution to my problem, preferably without reinstalling TDM (it takes some time).

If you found a copy of TDM 1.1 then I want a link.

Weird. I'll ask the obvious question: what are your PC specs?

 

And maybe post your DoomConfig.cfg (You can attach it here with the forums by renaming it .txt)

hey fkkoko,

 

We haven't had anyone else with this issue, so while I dont doubt you have a problem we will need more information to try and help you out.

I'm sure its just something your side with either config or even something strange like a new AV.

 

Have you installed anything else since the upgrade that you can remember? any other doom3 mods?

 

If you could, try going to your doom3 folder, rename DoomConfig to something else then using "find files/folders" look for any remaining files named "DoomConfig" and delete them. This will reset your doom3 and TDM etc configs to default, you can return your TDM settings by renaming the file back, however test with defaults to be sure!

 

If you've installed a new antivirus, please try disabling it while you test.

 

If you have an ATI/AMD card, make sure Catalyst AI is disabled (tho I think you've already done that )

Serps, I mentioned the drop in FPS when testing 1.02 prior to release..

Thanks for answers .

 

I'll ask the obvious question: what are your PC specs?

 

Windows XP SP2, Intel Duo core 3.0 Ghz, 2 GB RAM and graphic card Geforce 8800 GTX.

 

I had no problems with performance or loading times before updates.

 

And maybe post your DoomConfig.cfg

 

Kk, I attached it.

 

Have you installed anything else since the upgrade that you can remember? any other doom3 mods?

 

Well, I did not install any Doom 3 mods, I also did not install anything after 1.02 update (not sure about 1.01).

 

If you could, try going to your doom3 folder, rename DoomConfig to something else then using "find files/folders" look for any remaining files named "DoomConfig" and delete them. This will reset your doom3 and TDM etc configs to default, you can return your TDM settings by renaming the file back, however test with defaults to be sure!

 

Unfortunately it did not solve my problem .

 

If you've installed a new antivirus, please try disabling it while you test.

 

Nope. No new antivirus . I tried disabling it anyway, but it did not help.

 

I guess I will just reinstall TDM and see if it helps although I really wanted to avoid that. But I can't resist TDM's call, so I'll try it anyway .

DoomConfig.txt

I don't see anything obviously wrong with your DoomConfig. Is it perhaps related to what Fan Mission you're playing?

I know that ATI has had recent driver problems with load-times for specific games (I know, you have nvidia)

 

...since you haven't specifically clarified whether anything has changed between 1.0 to 1.01, I would recommend either updating to the latest driver or regressing to the one you know that you had before the update... (Video Drivers seem to be biggest culprit for level load times...)

 

If you want to get crazy, you could also update your motherboard chipset drivers...

[fkkoko]

OK, I downloaded and installed 1.02 TDM torrent and everything is back to normal .

 

The problem was probably caused by my oversight or something. I guess that if anyone else have slowdown problem after update and don't know whatelse to do, he just needs to download the torrent version.

 

Thanks for the support guys, I really appreciate it!

I think i even noticed performance increase but guess thats unlikely but my map was stuttering when opening some of the most visportally intense doors, and now this is gone. Steady 60fps... wish it would stay till the finish:)
